The second announcement concerns vultures and follows the
bird reports.

The third-year BLACK-TAILED GULL at Newport, Rhode Island,
was on Third Beach on the east side of town July 1, 2, 3,
and 4 with Ring-bills and other gulls. Just before you exit
Interstate 95 to take Rt. 138, there is an Information
Center where you can get a map of local streets to find
Third Beach. This area is not far from the Harlequin spot
at Sachuest Point.

In New Jersey, an ANHINGA was seen in the Hackensack
Meadowlands in the Lyndhurst area, heading toward Kearney,
on June 28.

The COMMON RAVENS continue at High Point State Park at the
Park headquarters, behind the maintenance building on Rt.
23. A NORTHERN HARRIER was seen at Oil City Rd. in Walkill
Refuge. Sussex Co., July 2.

Some 23 TURKEY VULTURES have been tagged in New Jersey with

already this month in Rochester, NY. If you see a Turkey
Vulture with a red streamer, please call (717) 897-6863.
